Bible Comments

And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

Ver. 16. And he would fain have filled his belly] The stomach of man is a monster (saith one), which, being contained in so little a bulk as his body, is able to consume and devour all things.

And no man gave him] A swinish life he had led, and now would have been glad of swine's meat.

Luke 15:16

16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
